Note:
The Great Salt Lake is what remains of the once huge
|
|
ice-age Lake
Bonneville. The remaining lake, only 35'
|
|
at its deepest,
fluctuates greatly
from year to year
|
|
depending on the snow run-off.
A drop of ca. 9'
|
|
results in the loss of almost 50% of its
|
|
surface area. It is the largest U.S.
|
|
lake
west of the Mississippi.
